Negril Airport Transfer Review: Smooth, Safe, and Surprisingly Comfortable

Planning your trip from Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport to the laid-back shores of Negril? If so, the Negril Airport Transfer offered by Island Boy Tours might just be your best bet for a stress-free start or finish. For $48 per person, you get a private ride that lasts roughly 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes — enough time to relax, enjoy some snacks, and maybe even peek at a few Jamaican sights along the way.
What makes this transfer stand out? First, the comfort and safety of a new, clean vehicle gave us peace of mind. Second, the included free refreshments—cold Red Stripe beer (yes, beer!) and water—are a lovely touch, especially after a long flight or before settling into your resort. Plus, the onboard WiFi helps pass the time with a little connection to the world or some playlist tweaks for the road.
One aspect to consider: this service is strictly a private transfer, so you won’t be sharing with strangers, which is great if privacy is your priority. However, if you’re arriving during very busy times, booking in advance ensures you don’t face delays—though the flexible cancellation policy (full refund if canceled 24 hours ahead) offers peace of mind.
This transfer is ideal for travelers who value comfort, reliability, and a touch of local hospitality. Whether you’re arriving after a long flight or heading out for your last evening, it fits well for individuals, couples, or small groups looking for a hassle-free ride.
